Dragonlord's Servant Discussion

1 week ago

If your main issue is you're getting beat down before you can get your mid/late game rolling then you might want to consider some mass removal. Something like
Anger of the Gods
could work.

Think about what each card in your deck does and how it helps your over-all plan.
Kargan Dragonrider
is kind of a flavour win but as a 2/2 it most likely trades or chumps against other early game creatures. You're not generating any card advantage that way.

You might also look at cards like
Dragonlord's Servant
to fill that roll. It blocks better than Dragon Rider and it accelerates your dragon plan by 1 turn.
Dragonspeaker Shaman
is also helpful but being a 3 drop it's competing with Sarkhan and Dragon's horde.

Thanks for the suggstions Spairut .
Hornet Nest
and
Frontier Siege
are no options for me as they are green and no dragons.
The only reason I included some Forest in my Manabase is
Cindervines
, which is currently my only idea to handle opponents enchantments. Surely not my definite solution.. I don´t need forests for the
Dragon Broodmother
as there are 6 lands who can produce any kind of mana for dragon spells and 4x
Dragon's Hoard
.

I know there are a few nice green dragon related cards, but there are more downsides than upsides in switching from a basically red manabase to R/G, when focusing on the ETB effects.
In contrast, I thought about switching a bit more to B/R and replace
Draconic Roar
with
Thoughtseize
...
For ramp I tried
Dragonspeaker Shaman
,
Dragonlord's Servant
or the universal
Urza's Incubator
. But in the end I replaced them one after another with
Dragon's Hoard
, as it is a manaramp for all kinds of spells, and an additional card draw for every dragon entering the battlefield.
Dragon Egg
is just much more effective in this deck then
Hornet Nest
, as it allows to trigger etb effects two times.

Hornet Nest
is good for surviving , a great defender and all the damage it gets you put that many 1/1 hornet tokens with deathtouch and flying (you can use a lightning bolt on it for 3 free hornets) and i would replace the dragon egg with the hornet nest.

I like the idea but there are some improvements that may help. You have basically no ramp and a rather low land count for a deck that curves out around 5/6. I would bump you lands up to 34 at least, maybe 35/36. I would seriously consider all 10 shock lands, and either the full set of check or filter. I;ve had good luck with just shocks and check with my own 5c EDH deck but with some many dual symbol creatures, the filters may be better for you. You'll need a least a few ramp sources, maybe 5-7. You're playing some very large creatures and you want to go fast.
Dragonspeaker Shaman
and
Dragonlord's Servant
both help drop the cost of dragons.
Sol Ring
and the signets are all low cost rocks, while some spells like
Farseek
,
Rampant Growth
and
Cultivate
help thin our your deck and the colors you need. You are doing reanimation some maybe some creatures like
Solemn Simulacrum
and
Yavimaya Elder
.
